Hey guys. I'm new to the site here, but have been shaving with a straight razor for a good while. Spent a year with a shavette, learning the ropes, and have been shaving with a true razor for about 3 years. There is an antique store by my house that often has some old razors for relatively cheap, sometimes $18-$25. I have bought three of them, one of them I intend on sending out to be honed. The other two are damaged. One has a large chip in the blade, the other has a broken scale, but they are near identical. I had planned on switching out the scales so I can save the good blade, but have no idea on how to do this (i.e. taking them apart.)
The stamps on the blades are as follows.
1. Chipped Blade. One side says "KASTOR". Reverse side says "No. 1100. Waranteed. Germany.
2. Broken Scale. One side has "The World's Work". Reverse says ""Sharp" Stevens. Cleveland O. M.I. Germany"
3. Fine all around. One side is blank. The other says "Golden Rule Cutlery Co. Chicago"
Anyone know anything about any of these razors? And can anyone show me how to remove the pins to change out the scales? Thanks.
